- Select and implement IAM platforms (SailPoint, CyberArk, Okta, Entra ID) based on requirements
- Define JML (Joiner-Mover-Leaver) lifecycle processes and governance frameworks
- Lead identity governance reviews and access recertification programmes
- Integrate IAM solutions with cloud environments, applications, and legacy systems
- Advise on identity strategy, authentication methods, and policy frameworks
